A new commentary, published by members of the Energy Demand Changes Induced by Technological and Social Innovations (EDITS) network, coordinated by IIASA, highlights that switching the focus from how energy is supplied to how energy is consumed can be a more effective approach to reducing carbon emissions with the added benefit of improving wellbeing for all.

Under pressure from customers and investors, many U.S. companies have pledged to voluntarily reduce their impact on the climate. But that doesn't always mean they're cutting their own greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy conservation has become a trending topic all around the world, and Singapore’s industrial sector cannot stay away from this so easily as this nation puts so much weight on sustainability. What has Singapore done to conserve energy? From using less carbon-intensive fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to switching to natural gas to generate electricity, their commitment is quite impressive! However, there are many other initiatives they can easily implement technologically if they want to make it a smart manufacturing grid. What is the energy strategy of Singapore?

The built environment consists of buildings and infrastructure that touch all aspects of human life—from our houses and apartments to the commercial and industrial spaces where we work, shop, and socialize. This ecosystem accounts for around 26% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The food processing industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors, consuming vast amounts of electricity and fuel to transform raw ingredients into the products we consume daily. This high energy usage not only contributes to significant operational costs but also results in substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Implementing energy-efficient practices is crucial for reducing both costs and environmental impact. This article explores various strategies to enhance energy efficiency in food processing, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and profitable industry.

According to the European Commission, buildings in the European Union are responsible for 40% of final energy consumption in the European Union and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, while 75% of the European Union’s buildings are still energy inefficient and 85-95% of the buildings that exist today will continue to exist in 2050.

Canada's buildings sector is the third-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions across the country. We must increase the scale and pace of retrofitting buildings across the country to make them more energy-efficient, increasing savings and reducing emissions.

At the virtual conference with the Minister for Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland Greg Hands on the afternoon of October 21, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien said that Vietnam prioritizes to develop renewable energy, reduce coal-fired power, strive to achieve carbon neutrality soon.

A kick-off meeting was held in Hanoi on March 15 to launch the project on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector, the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) reported.

The Body Shop packaging could soon be made from greenhouse gases that would otherwise pollute the atmosphere, thanks to a new research partnership between the retailer and cleantech firm Newlight Technologies.

Vietnam ranked the fourth in the world in terms of number of projects, with the total amount of greenhouse gas reduction potential of about 137.4 million tons of CO2 equivalent in the credit period.

There are some simple ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced at your school and that can help to save money on your energy bills.

Energy efficiency is the first step toward achieving sustainability in buildings and it is still the best way to both cut energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions at the same time. Singapore has committed to reduction in carbon emissions by 7% – 11% by 2020, compared to the current level. The efforts to achieve that goal is reflected through energy efficiency that this city-state undergoes across different sectors.

Pursuant to the National Strategy for Green Growth by 2050 approved by the Prime Minister, Vietnam identified three strategic assignments: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promotion of clean renewable energy; green production, greening of lifestyles and promotion of sustainable consumption.

In the implementation of energy development strategy, Ministry of Industry and Trade presided over the preparation of policies to support the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power, biomass power, electricity generated from solid wastes and solar power.

The technology is called "combined heat and power" because after the electricity is generated by the system, the waste heat is used in the building. Aquatic centres are ideal locations to install these systems as pools and hot tubs require heating year-round.

Group of Seven leaders agreed on Monday to wean their economies off carbon fuels and supported a global goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but they stopped short of agreeing their own immediate binding targets.

As most consumers now download and stream their movies and music, more and more CDs and DVDs will end up in landfills or be recycled. But scientists believe these discarded discs could soon take on a different role by curbing the release of greenhouse gases.

“Better Buildings Challenge partners are improving their communities by cutting energy waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Dr. David Danielson, Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

In Canada, the Green Mining Initiative successfully installed an automated mine ventilation system in an underground mine in greater Sudbury, Ontario. This resulted to a reduction of up to 40 percent of the energy consumption, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and cost savings amounting up to $4 million annually.
